We have the privilege of caring for many children, adults, and their families in the comfort of their own home and through our hospice services, Little Havens and Fair Havens.
Like many people, they had preconceptions of what hospice care meant. They have agreed to tell their story to you in the hope that it sheds some light on the reality of how hospice care can benefit families in the toughest of times, and overcome fears of what hospices are like.
“They looked after me just as much as they looked after her. I know she would have been over the moon with it, the way it was.”
"The biggest thing the children love about Little Havens is they can be completely themselves; it gives them the space and freedom to play together"
"It’s hard to put into words, but thank you to everyone that supports Little Havens because it makes such a difference to us and our little boy”
“At Fair Havens, Dad wasn't just a patient, he was 'Fred' and care was personalised to him."
"The carers from Fair Havens Hospice at Home not only made her comfortable, but Chrissie enjoyed their company."
“The hospice is so full of love even during your darkest time, and because of that, her last moments weren’t filled with trauma or pain.”
“There will be a day Mason won't be with us, but we will always have the memories, especially the ones Little Havens helped us to make."
“Fair Havens saved me and got me to where I am now”
"I didn't realise hospices offered that care and she come out feeling so much better because she was so well looked after.”
“Little Havens has made it possible for Eli to experience things he might otherwise miss out on.”
"Having a child with very complex needs you can feel like you are standing on the outside looking in."
"I had the best time ever! It was so much fun and I made great new friends. I can’t wait until I can stay again. When can I come again?!”
